Jumio and Engage Technology Partners Join Forces to Automate Right to Work Verification

Jumio, the creator of Netverify® Trusted Identity as a Service (TIaaS), has announced a partnership with Engage Technology Partners Ltd., to integrate Jumio’s online identity verification technologies into Engage’s cloud-based recruitment solutions, designed to help end-hirers, agencies, payrolls and workers navigate and simplify the recruitment process.

Right to work checks are a compulsory step in the UK recruitment process. Employers are required to see the applicant’s original identity documents, check that the documents are valid with the applicant present, make and retain copies of the documents and record the date the check was made. This manual process can be time-consuming for hiring companies and exposes them to potential data breaches and GDPR scrutiny.
